Unlike its cunterparts in Peninsular Malaysia, hotels in Sarawak are expected to enjoy a higher level of occupancy and room rate this year, as the state elections and increase in corporate business provide a boost.
Coupled with a higher tourists arrival target of four million and a fairly stable number of room inventory, the hotels here hope to surpass the occupancy level, which has been rather static over the past three years.
"Occupancy has been on an even keel around 60 per cent plus for the past three years," the Malaysian Association of Hotels Sarawak acting chairman Keith Pointer said, adding that he hopes to see rates and occupancy improve by a tenth in 2011 and 2012. Only a quarter of the occupancy is filled up by foreigners.
Pointer said in a phone interview that there are 221 hotels with a total room inventory of 12,700 rooms in Sarawak . Of these, 191 hotels have star ratings.
The average room rate of the four and five-star hotels is at over RM200 while the rate for the smaller hotels is around RM110 per night.
